I photocopied my final publication onto both yellow and blue paper to see which I preferred for the final. The yellow coming from the smiley face logo adopted by the Shroom nightclub in London and later by the raver culture as a whole, and the blue from both the strobe lighting and 'blue pill' ecstasy.
I felt the yellow most accurately fit with the rave aesthetic, and photocopied a final version to be stapled and folded to a high level.
Towards the end of this brief I did play around with the notion of using a thicker stock so my publication looked to be finished at a higher standard. However when comparing it to the thinner stock I decided to go with that. The thinner paper made for a more DIY zine feel whereas the thicker stock would have taken away some of the authenticity of the piece, and in turn some of the research.
